The announcement follows an earlier test of new passports on selected routes from South America and the Caribbean. The airline said thousands of customers have already traveled using the app.

The launch of the app comes as the US plans to require a negative Covid-26 test result for all arriving travelers aged two years and older starting January 19.

“We are expanding our work with Verifly to quickly expand the app's user experience and make international travel easier for our customers,” said Julie Rath, vice president of customer experience for American Airlines. “We support the implementation of a global program requiring Covid-19 testing for travelers to the United States, and we want to do everything we can to make travel convenient for customers.” We have received positive feedback on the app so far and hope more customers can use it.”

“This new solution is a direct response to our customers' growing desire to explore more international travel options,” said Robert Isom, president of American Airlines, in a press release. “The app will help us make travel more seamless by supporting demand for people to get back to flying and reassuring customers that they are fully prepared to travel.”

What is Verifly and how to use it

Verifly can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Before traveling, you will need to create a profile on your mobile device. You will be asked to confirm the details of the trip, including:

  • any necessary documents for travel to the destination;
  • negative test for COVID-19, depending on the requirements of your destination;
  • information about your flight.

When you enter your information, the app checks to see if your details meet country requirements and displays a message letting you know whether you "pass" or not. This simple message will simplify the process of checking in at the airport before departure, writes travel waits.

The app also sends reminders when your travel period during which a test is valid comes to an end or after your credentials have expired.

American is working with multiple countries to further simplify this process and implement the Verifly app at destination airports so that customers have a fast track checkout process in all directions. In the coming weeks and months, the airline plans to expand the program to other markets. The developers claim that the application securely stores all the personal data of travelers.
